Allen Ginsberg, the famous NorthAmerican Poet, poetry was his all, he pourred his life, his love and most of the times his TEARS in his poems. His beloved Mom died in an asylum.
A compelling and descriptive rendition. A masterful work of art.....

Allen Ginsberg the straightforward poet An unpretentious language writer in this poem the poet so naively depicted the life of self in Manhattan every reader, maybe, feels his life in his poetic words without any difficult it seems to me that my existence walking, doing, enjoying every poetic delineated panorama in reading; whatever it's poetic successful to make the reader deeper in his/her poems
A lively landscape of Allen Ginsberg's Manhattan from which emerges his 'Sad Self'. Thanks.
Inspiring straight spoken formula of poetry catches the reader to sit beside him. So smooth it comes to the unavoidable catastrophe where Manhattan is hero again. Excellent. never regained or desired in the mind to come where all Manhattan that I’ve seen must disappear......
Sad, I take the elevator and go down, pondering, and walk on the pavements staring into all man’s plateglass, faces, great poem. tony
Panorama of bridges and fast paced city life adored by Allen Ginsberg has been wonderfully narrated in this well deserved modern poem of the Day.
As usual Ginsberg hit the spot no fancy words or line just simple lines that connect you to the poet and the poet to you via his world Great poetry.
You are lucky that you can step aside and not feel judged in this city Allen! ! ! !
